The Investors Who Still Think Crypto Can Make Them Rich
The main problem in my mind with the Lightning network is that in order increase transaction speed, it is reducing the decentralization by requiring participants to trust the other network operators that they create channels with. For the lightning network to really scale to a global payment system, we would need large central hubs for the payments to route through and you would end up with a poor imitation of the centralized banking system that bitcoin is attempting to avoid.

Sam Harris' responsibility for cryptocurrency
Bitcoin specifically, transactions times and the layering, in essence the lightning network, has been a failure amid many embarrassing risks (some of which allowing for the possibility of a contract being intercepted). https://github.com/davidshares/Lightning-Network amounts to absolutely not being an effective currency system from the get go. An absolute waste of energy. Deflationary by design meaning a disincentive to sell baked into it. The volatile value means a completely undesirable means of exchange.

Nano is a shitcoin with no fees. The network is being mass spammed by no fees rendering the network unusable. Can this attack disrupt the LN is the same way?
